About 313 Area Code
Area code 313 serves Detroit and the surrounding Wayne County communities. Created in 1947 as one of the original 86 North American area codes, 313 has become synonymous with Motor City and carries deep cultural significance for residents and businesses. The code covers Detroit proper plus suburbs including Dearborn, Livonia, Hamtramck, Highland Park and Redford. In 2025, area code 679 was introduced as an overlay requiring 10-digit dialing for all calls.
The 313 region anchors Michigan's automotive economy with headquarters for GM, Ford and Stellantis, plus hundreds of automotive suppliers and advanced manufacturing operations. Detroit also hosts growing healthcare, technology, education and professional services sectors. Local businesses use 313 numbers for customer support, B2B sales, appointment scheduling and community outreach. A 313 number carries cultural weight and local pride, driving higher answer rates than toll-free alternatives because it signals authentic Detroit presence and commitment to the community.
FoneSwift displays live 313 inventory with Voice, SMS and MMS capabilities on this page. Search available numbers to find options that match your business needs.
